General population (ads, flyers, posters, and mailings) and primary care practices
29612 monthsAges 35–70; ≥10 pack-year history; read/speak Dutch; ≥1 respiratory symptom (cough, sputum, shortness of breath); mild or moderate COPD*; interested in quitting smokingPrior respiratory diagnosis; spirometry in past 12 months; contraindication to nortriptyline; FEV1 <50% predicted; FEV1/FVC >70%IG1: CG1 intervention plus discussion of results from spirometry, prognosis of COPD, and challenging irrational beliefs about smoking
CG1: 4 40-minute medium-intensity counseling plus nortriptyline
CG2: Referral to GP for smoking cessation treatment without information about spirometry results or airflow limitation
Prolonged abstinence from smoking (biochemically validated)Nicotine dependence (FTND), respiratory health (CCQ), HRQoL (CRQ)

CG: Individual cessation plan; cessation counseling; solicitation of quit date and clinic or telephone followup at 1 and 4 weeks after quit date (for patients in preparation stage)

Five general practices
56112 monthsAge ≥35; patient record indicates was a smoker within the last 12 monthsPatients receiving oxygen; those with a history of lung cancer, TB, asbestosis, silicosis, bronchiectasis, or pneumonectomyIG: Assessment interview including spirometry. Strongly encouraged to give up smoking and access local smoking cessation clinics. Patients received their “lung age” verbally using a graphic display and were counseled that smoking cessation would help to slow down the rate of deterioration of lung function.
CG: Assessment interview including spirometry. Strongly encouraged to give up smoking and access local smoking cessation clinics. Patients received their lung function scores (FEV1) in the mail with no further explanation. In both groups, if testing indicated asthma, participants were advised to attend GP for management and GP was informed separately. When spirometry suggested restrictive lung disease, participant and GP were sent letter to advise them on further investigation and guidelines on referral to secondary care.
